house

Terraced two-bay two-storey house, extant 1886, on a rectangular plan. Reroofed, ----. One of a terrace of three. Replacement pitched artificial slate roof with ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks having stringcourses below corbelled stepped capping supporting yellow terracotta tapered pots, and uPVC rainwater goods on cut-granite eaves. Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed door opening (south) with cut-granite step threshold, and concealed dressings framing replacement glazed timber panelled door. Square-headed window openings with cut-granite sills, and concealed dressings framing one-over-one timber sash windows. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.

A house erected as one of a terrace of three houses (including 15604013; 15604015) representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of New Ross with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form; the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression; and the high pitched roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in Saint John's Street.
